City Escape

I'm a city girl at heart-- a perfect day for me includes (A) walking and/or biking around, (B) a museum or two, or maybe a theatrical or other fine art performance, (C) delicious food, (D) and some beautiful vistas.  In the context of one day, most of these things could only be simultaneously achieved in a larger metropolis, you know, one that actually has an opera house or ballet company, and one that has the luxury of great, classy food.

CHECK LIST:

X  Walking all around Manhattan

The Newsies on Broadway...and acrobatic street performers (totally counts!)

There was legit man-ballet happening in this show!  It was very enjoyable.


 

X  Australian (!) pies, street market kebabs & roasted corn on the cob, super posh Mediterranean food


    Yes!  It's Australian!  They serve Lamingtons, too!  Ah, sweet nostalgia...

A little Aussie, a little Israeli- I was certainly reliving my grand adventures through eating on this trip.

X  Central Park








So, yeah, pretty much a perfect day :)

I told Ian about me and Mom's tradition of handstands at Radio City Music Hall and since I was in a skirt, he decided to do the honors:

That's for you, Mom!
